PREFACE 

Years of experience in handling my own in- 
ventions and patents have shown me the numer- 
ous pitfalls into which the unsuspecting inven- 
tor stumbles. 

Having learned how to avoid those pitfalls 
and believing that my fellow-inventors would 
benefit by and sincerely appreciate a few words 
of advice from an experienced inventor, I have 
taken great pains and pleasure in preparing 
this volume which I dedicate to these fellow- 
inventors in the hope that it will be the means 
of gaining for them just returns on the product 
of their ingenuity. 

Fraternally yours, 

The Author.

CHAPTER I 
INVENTING 

Invention: The Poor Man's Opportunity. 

In no other field of endeavor are the chances of 
immense and quick returns so great as in the 
field of invention. Its scope is world wide; its 
opportunities limitless. This may well be termed 
"the age of invention". Labor- and time-saving 
devices and appliances are in greater demand 
than ever before. The recent war saw the birth 
of literally thousands of startling inventions. 
Out of necessity men invented then who had 
never before dreamed of inventing anything. 

The world is full of people working for a 
small wage who, if they would but exert their 
mental faculties and their power of observation 
and give a timely thought to a single improve- 
ment in any one of the numerous articles sur- 
rounding them in home, office, shop, or factory, 

1

would be rewarded, from a pecuniary standpoint, 
with an amount equal to tlieir ordinary earn- 
ings for a number of years. 

Real inventors invent because they cannot 
help it. Their minds are continually concen- 
trated upon improving present devices as they 
find them or producing new ideas. Perhaps 
their first effort is crude, but they finally bring 
out the improved, completed article. 

The majority of inventions are merely im- 
provements over some article already in exist- 
ence ; in fact, it is generally the improvement 
and not the originally conceived idea that nets 
the larger return. 

The Most Successful Inventions. 

As a rule the most successful inventions are 
closely connected with the line of business with 
which their inventor is or has been associated, 
though thc}^ are sometimes brought out by men 
with no experience along the line to w^hich their 
invention applies. In many cases new laws are 
discovered or new applications for old ones, de- 
fying the principles of formerly accepted laws 
entirely. 

To be really successful any invention must pos- 
sess utility, simplicity and practicability. It is 
well to find out, if possible,, what is or would 



INVENTING 3 

be the demand for the proposed invention be- 
fore spending much time on it. 

Protection of the United States Government. 

The United States Government issues over 
30,000 patents annually. Its very liberal patent 
system and the protection it affords the inventor 
encourages the development of new ideas and 
stimulates further effort. 

No invention may be imported from foreign 
countries similar to one patented and on file in 
the United States Patent Office without the con- 
sent of the inventor of the latter. 

Demand for Inventions. 

As to the demand for inventions of merit there 
is no doubt. Never, perhaps, in the history of 
cur country has the demand been so great as 
right now. There are always interested people 
looking for the latest developments in inventions 
and if one has conceived something of merit, it 
remains only a matter of steering it safely 
through the necessary business channels to where 
the world will buy and use it. 

The Inventor's Chief Requisites. 

Confidence, tenacity of purpose, and capital 
are the chief requisites for building up a for- 



4 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

tune on the foundation of a patent. The patent 
itself must, first of all, be of intrinsic worth in 
order to succeed. 

But one need not be an Edison, a Bell, Howe, 
or Singer to win success ; some of the most profit- 
able inventions ever marketed have been so 
simple that the sums realized from them are al- 
most unbelievable. 

For instance, the invention of a lamp chimney 
yielded over $50,000 a year for several years; 
Waterman's crinoline wire brought over $185,- 
000; Mrs. Potts' sad iron netted over $50,000 in 
royalties. The genius who invented the rubber 
eraser tip for lead pencils realized a fortune; 
the tin cap for bottles was a great money maker, 
while the metal fastener for shoe buttons pro- 
duced an independent fortune. And so on. 

Simple Inventions the Best. 

One could continue almost indefinitely enu- 
merating instances where simple inventions have 
netted enormous returns. I want to impress 
you with the value of little things. The sim- 
plest inventions are the best money makers. 
They require less time, expense and effort to 
perfect and market than is required by a com- 
plicated machine or something for which com- 
plicated machinery must be constructed. 



INVENTING 5 

A basic idea or patent is very desirable — 
please do not understand me as aiming to dis- 
courage them — but generally such is no sooner 
issued than improvements begin to appear — and 
the improvements reap the greater reward. 

Do not despise the little things. You can 
never tell when you will be fortunate enough 
to strike a really good one. 

You have heard the old saying, *' There is 
nothing new under the sun," so do not imagine 
that you must bring out something new, radi- 
cal, or revolutionary in order to make a success 
of invention. As said before, the majority of 
inventions are improvements over some exist- 
ing patent and improvements generally pay as 
well as, if not better than, the original and are 
more quickly snapped up. 

An absolutely new or basic idea, although it 
may be for a scarce or utterly lacking article 
and one that in time might prove of unthought 
of value, will require time, patience, money, and 
frequently worry, to bring before and educate 
the public to its use. Many inventions would 
have landed on the rocks of financial distress 
if it had not been for the tenacity, courage and 
determination with which their inventors hung 
on. 

You know that other old saying, ''Necessity 



6 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

is the mother of invention." Every big inven- 
tion makes necessary many minor ones — acces- 
sories, parts, etc. Not to give a long list of 
examples one might mention electricity and 
the automobile. Add as many more as you 
wish. 

Dormant Inventions. 

There are excellent inventions lying idle 
which, if properly pushed, would net the inven- 
tor handsome returns. For lack of knowledge 
or initiative or some other reason, they are 
allowed to remain in obscurity. This condition 
should not be. The world is that much poorer 
for not having the use of many time- and labor- 
saving devices and their inventors are that much 
poorer for not enjoying the reward the world 
would gladly pay for them. 

A patent is allowed for a term of seventeen 
years, after which it becomes the property of 
anyone who wishes to make use of it. Of course, 
it is supposed that something definite is done 
with a patent in that length of time. If not it 
is the inventor's fault in one way or another 
and he has only himself to blame. 

It has frequently happened that patents have 
begun to bring results just as they were about 
to expire. If you have such a patent, get out 



INVENTING 7 

of the rut and push it! Follow the suggestions 
given in this Manual and instead of owning 
something which is doing neither you nor any- 
one else any good, you will, in all probability, 
give the world something it has long been wait- 
ing for and, more than likely, receive in return 
a profit you never dreamed of: 

If you have an idea which you think of **some 
day ' ' inventing, get busy right away ; invent it, 
patent it, sell it ! 

If you have patented something but gone no 
further, now is the time to revive your interest 
in the child of your brain and bring it up to be 
of use to humanity. Neither is anywhere near 
as difficult as you may have imagined. 

How to Invent. 

Invention lies in the power of thought and 
concentration. To make a success of invention 
you must have the ability to think and think 
deeply, concentrate your mind upon some one 
thought, idea or plan and to your thought add 
practical experience, training or knowledge. 

Study the things around you, articles you use 
at home, at work, or on your travels. Do they 
satisfy you? Why not? Can't you improve 
them? How? Can't they be made more simple, 
with fewer parts, less expensive? How? 



a INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

If you are not satisfied with what comes to 
you second hand but feel inspired to improve it 
in some way, you may truly be called an ' ' infant 
inventor. ' ' 

"Whatever it may be, determine to remedy the 
deficiency or understand the features in the ob- 
ject at hand. Study from the beginning. You 
will be surprised at the number of imperfec- 
tions you will find. 

Do not forget that the main elements of a 
successful invention are utility, simplicity and 
commercial practicability. 

The Value of Imagination. 

Encourage and develop your imagination ; it 
is one of the inventor's greatest assets. It helps 
one to see things operated in a different way and 
to visualize possibilities that others cannot. 
Don't be afraid to give free rein to your imagi- 
nation — let it "run wild" — for out of appar- 
ent jumble there is likely to evolve a result that 
will reward you and benefit the world. 



CHAPTER II 
PERFECTING AND PATENTING 

Competition. 

After conceiving an idea inventors frequently 
find on the market an article that in some re- 
spects resembles their own. At once they lose 
heart and drop their idea saying, **It is already 
on the market — what chance have I?" 

Don't make this mistake. The improvement 
you have thought of may be just the device 
needed to make some article more valuable than 
before and increase its sales. 

Remember, ''Competition is the life of trade" 
and your chances of making a success of an im- 
provement on an existing invention are far 
greater than were the chances of the inventor 
of the original or basic device. 

Perfecting the Invention. 

In the first place, after you have conceived 
the idea, get your invention in shape to con- 

9 



10 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

form to the requirements of the patent laws. 
Never mind details ; the patent laws merely re- 
quire that the invention be theoretically opera- 
tive. As soon as you have reached this point 
protect yourself by filing your application for 
patent. 

Applying for Patent. 

To do this it is always best to consult a relia- 
ble Patent Attorney (Registered). He will be 
thoroughly familiar with the rules and practice 
of the Patent Office and will procure results 
more quickly than you possibly could yourself. 

A valid patent cannot be obtained if the in- 
vention for which application is being made has 
been in public use or on sale for more than two 
years. 

Early filing of your application may prove 
of distinct advantage in establishing priority of 
your claim should such an occasion arise. 

With your application safely filed, you can 
then take the time necessary to refine and per- 
fect the invention. 

The Working Device. 

You may employ skilled workmen to assist in 
the construction of the complete working device 



PERFECTING AND PATENTING 11 

and, although they may offer suggestions as to 
details and these suggestions be adopted, the 
final product ivill belong to you as the inventor 
so long as the completed article remains in basic 
principle the same as the original. Were this 
not so many prominent inventors who are not 
mechanics would be unable to perfect their in- 
ventions without losing them. 

Models: Their Attractiveness and Value. 

If you intend to demonstrate or display your 
model it is always advisable to have it as nearly 
perfect as your means will permit, although 
usually details do not matter greatly if your 
model does the work required to demonstrate its 
point. 

Practically all inventions have to be thorough- 
ly gone over and the manufacturing details 
worked out. The inventor is not supposed to 
be familiar with manufacturing methods, so the 
invention is put into the hands of those who 
are, to be refined and developed on a manufac- 
turing basis. 

The value of an attractive model is hard to 
estimate. Often it is the means of creating a 
sale where otherwise, if the model were a crude 
affair and did not strike the fancy of the pros- 
pective purchaser or investor, it would be diffi- 



12 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

cult to retain his interest, though it may at 
first have been easily won, and the result might 
end in failure. 

How to Raise Money to Apply for Patent. 

Often the inventor, after evolving his idea 
and bringing it to a state where he is ready to 
apply for patent, finds himself without the es- 
sential funds to do so. There are, however, sev- 
eral ways in which the desired finances may 
be obtained. 

First : He may arrange with some individual 
— friend, business man or broker — or some com- 
pany to advance the money to enable him to 
file his application, perfect his model, etc., and 
to give in return for this advance a percentage 
of the gross amount received from the sale of 
the invention after it is marketed. This is usual- 
ly about 25 per cent. 

Second: He may make an absolute assign- 
ment of a certain territory (to be mutually 
agreed upon) to the second party as his share 
of the invention for the advanced funds. 

Third: He may assign an interest in the 
whole invention and hold this jointly with the 
assignee. In this case the agreement must be 
drawn up with utmost care. 

These various methods and forms of agree- 



PERFECTING AND PATENTING 13 

ment will be taken up at length in later chap- 
ters. 

Of course an invention is worthless unless 
you are protected by at least a patent applica- 
tion. So do not let your invention lie idle ; dis- 
pose of an interest and start it working and give 
yourself a chance to realize something on your 
idea. 



CHAPTER III 
HOW BEST TO DISPOSE OF A PATENT 

Selling Inventions Before Patent. 

It is bad policy to try to dispose of your in^ 
vention before you have secured, or at least ap- 
plied for, your patent. You cannot realize near- 
ly so much on it. Naturally the chances as- 
sumed by the investor are considerable and con- 
sequently he will expect to buy your invention 
at a greatly reduced price unless the patent is 
assured. Hang on, if possible, until you at least 
get some claims allowed. 

When the invention affects big money inter- 
ests it is sometimes well to let it go quickly, but 
in the case of small inventions, especially the 
simple ones, wait until the patent is allowed be- 
fore attempting to dispose of it. 

How to Protect Yourself. 

If you admit a second party and sell or give 
him an interest in your invention or patent, be 

14 



HOW TO DISPOSE OF A PATENT 15 

sure to have your contract stipulate that he 
cannot manufacture and sell or otherwise dis- 
pose of his interest without your written con- 
sent. No matter how small an interest a person 
may own, he can go ahead independently, with- 
out accounting to you in any manner for the 
profits he may derive, unless you have an agree- 
ment to the effect that in case he does manufac- 
ture or sell your invention he shall account to 
you for all profits obtained therefrom. 

Some of My Experiences in Selling Patents. 

You cannot exercise too minute care as to 
agreements into which you may enter. 

You will find people who will extend the most 
liberal and rosy offers. Personally I have found 
that the majority of such offers were merely of- 
fers with nothing substantial back of them — sub- 
terfuges to tie up the invention and cause delay 
and loss. On the other hand, I have found peo- 
ple who were anxious to secure an option on my 
patents. From experience I would not advise 
anyone to give an exclusive option unless paid 
a sufficient sum of money down to cover any 
loss he might sustain in the event of their not 
exercising the option. Again, I have been caught 
by accepting a small sum down and the balance 
in notes running four eight and twelve months. 



16 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

The argument put up was plausible enough, but 
generally the first payment was all I ever re- 
ceived. 

Be just as careful about entering into any 
agreement to place your invention or patent on 
royalty. It is always wise to have an experi- 
enced lawyer attend to such matters for you. 
There will be more on this subject of royalties. 

Keeping Control of Your Invention. 

So long as you hold control of your invention 
you can do as you like with it, but as soon as 
you let go of sufficient interest to wrest control 
from your hands, you are at the mercy of others. 

Losing Control. 

Never allow this to happen unless you secure 
a sum nearly equivalent to what you would take 
for the entire patent. If others really want to 
buy or invest they will not hesitate to pay a 
fair price unless they are scheming to gain con- 
trol and then ''squeeze" you out. It is prefer- 
able to accept a smaller amount and withdraw 
than to remain without control in your own 
proposition. 

About Selling Agencies. 

As soon as your patent is issued and published 
you will be flooded with pamphlets and litera- 



HOW TO DISPOSE OF A PATENT 17 

ture from selling agencies all over the country. 
I have found that few of these, if any, do very 
little actual selling of patents, but the inventor 
seems their legitimate prey and such agencies, 
after sending out attractive circulars, gilt-edged 
inducements and highly plausible and formal 
looking contracts (which appear to be all in 
favor of the inventor) and obtaining from him 
a paj^ment of some sort on one pretext or an- 
other, suddenly lose their interest in the inven- 
tion and drop it. 

The Best Selling Agent. 

You yourself are your own best selling agent 
and if you follow the advice offered here you 
will not need the services of any such agency. 
You are better off without its "help." 

In the first place, who is better qualified to 
handle an invention than its own originator? 
People prefer to deal with him as he knows his 
proposition from the ground up (or should) and 
is far more competent to explain its features 
than an intermediary who has had no real, prac- 
tical experience with it. Who knows a child 
better than its own parents ? 



CHAPTER IV 
PUSHING THE INVENTION TO SUCCESS 

Where the Eeal Work Begins. 

The first step to take toward disposing of 
your invention is to prepare the proposition for 
display as carefully as if you were marketing 
any other commodity. You may have spent time, 
money and thought on the invention itself, but 
managing the sale also requires time, money 
and thought — and the greatest care. From the 
financial standpoint this is where the real work 
begins. 

Advertisements that Bring Responses. 

In a case where the model is complete a small 
advertisement such as appears below, placed in 
a daily newspaper (this includes Sunday edi- 
tions), usually brings the desired result; 

I have a valuable invention. Want party with $500 
to take half interest. Demonstrating model ready. In- 
vestigate. Box 

18 



PUSHING INVENTION TO SUCCESS 19 

The price set should be sufficient to pay in 
part for the time, expense and trouble used in 
perfecting the invention. The investor who re- 
sponds to this advertisement may be given half 
interest ; the inventor pays for the patent and 
retains the balance. 

If the model is not complete an advertisement 
like this may be inserted : 

I have a new, valuable invention. Need financial as- 
sistance to patent and market. Liberal inducement for 
party with $1500. This is good. Investigate. Box .... 

About Advertising. 

It is not worth while to spend much money 
advertising an invention for sale. A few lines 
on the order of those given above, inserted in 
the large city newspapers — they usually have 
columns for this type of advertisement, some- 
times known as ''Business Opportunities" — will 
catch the eye of the man looking for patents or 
inventions to buy or invest in. 

Most papers, especially trade papers, are glad 
to get a line on anything new in their field. By 
using a little diplomacy, passing out informa- 
tion in the proper direction and casually dis- 
playing your invention, you can secure much 
free advertising. If j^ou intend to promote your 
invention yourself you cannot get too much 
advertising or publicity. 



20 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

Finding Buyers and Where to Find Them. 

Like everything else to be sold, inventions 
should be presented to those most likely to be 
interested. You would scarcely expect a manu- 
facturer of glassware to take much interest in 
a device made of metal. 

If your invention is an improvement on some 
article already on the market, the thing to do 
is to approach the manufacturer of the original 
article or the one to which your improvement 
applies. 

If it has to do with machinery, get in touch 
with machinery manufacturers. You would, of 
course, select those manufacturing the particu- 
lar kind of machinery on which your invention 
is to be used. 

If it is a novelty or something that can be 
handled by agents, read the advertisements in 
the ''Agents Wanted" columns of the newspa- 
pers. Probably you can effect a sale to some 
company handling other novelties and which is 
here looking for agents to sell them. 

If the article is to be used for advertising 
purposes, get in touch with advertising men; 
they are always on the lookout for new and at- 
tractive ideas. 

If it is adaptable for mail order purposes, 



PUSHING INVENTION TO SUCCESS 21 

look for your buyer among the mail order 
houses. 

If the invention is one for which there is a 
universal demand or can be made with little 
cost, you will be likely to find a buyer in the 
previously mentioned ''Agents Wanted" col- 
umn. 

If it is a device requiring considerable outlay 
to manufacture, the capitalist is the man to 
see. 

Correspondence and Circulars. 

You should have printed a neat circular bear- 
ing a cut of your invention and a clear, plainly 
worded description. This you will find of great 
help in many ways but particularly in corre- 
sponding with people too far away to call upon. 

Using Trade Journals. 

Secure copies of trade journals of the class or 
field to which your invention relates. Select 
from the advertisements the names of manufac- 
turers most apt to take notice of what you have. 
To each of these write a letter stating clearly 
why you think they should be interested and as- 
sure them an investigation would be worth their 
while. Have your letter brief but explanatory. 



22 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

convincing and to the point, typewritten if pos- 
sible and on business stationery. 

Presenting Your Proposition. 

Before presenting your proposition try to de- 
termine in some way the approximate cost to 
produce in quantities, the selling price, the profit 
each article should bring, and the probable ex- 
tent of its sale. Outline some kind of sales plan ; 
not that this makes much difference, but it shows 
the prospective buyer that you have been in- 
vestigating details and that you are interested 
in your device beyond the mere inventing and 
disposing of it. 

Knowledge of Your Subject. 

If you possess the means it is a good plan to 
have a few of the articles manufactured and de- 
termine in this way what they can be sold for 
and the profit each should bring. This will give 
you as complete a line on your proposition as 
you can well expect to get and it will also en- 
able you to talk intelligently and with author- 
ity to your prospective purchaser. You will be 
more sure of your ground and will have a just 
valuation of your patent. Moreover, the patent 
is no longer in the experimental stage and the 



PUSHING INVENTION TO SUCCESS 23 

buyer has a basis on which he can do some fig- 
uring. 

Enthusiasm and Confidence. 

Know your device and be prepared to furnish 
at once any information asked for. Never ap- 
pear too anxious to sell and never be too enthu- 
siastic about the possibilities of your invention, 
but in a businesslike manner let it be understood 
that you are fully aware of the value of what 
you have to sell. 

I say, ' ' Never be too enthusiastic. ' ' There are 
varying degrees of enthusiasm, but enough to 
win and hold the other's attention and interest 
to the point of decision i^ the proper degree. 
Less may not secure action; more sometimes 
alarms the would-be buyer. 

Above all, do not allow anyone to shake your 
confidence. This is often tried as a test of the 
inventor's own faith. 

Estimating the Value of a Patent. 

It is difficult to state any one method by which 
the value of an invention or patent may be esti- 
mated with any degree of satisfaction, but the 
following table will be found helpful in deter- 
mining approximate worth.

This is allowing only 25 per cent of the prob- 
able net profit, which, however, is a fair basis 
on which to figure. It also leaves the purchaser 
or investor a handsome balance to which he is 
entitled. 

This table is simply for the purpose of illus- 
trating a method of arriving at the approximate 
value of an invention or patent and may be va- 
ried according to conditions. If the article is 
one of general consumption, naturally more will 
be sold than if it were something special to be 
used for special purposes only. 



Commercial Value. 

You will, quite naturally, care more for the 
material value of your invention than for the 
fame or honor it may bring you. Eemember 
then that the profits are in exact proportion to 
the usefulness and general adaptability of the 
article. Whether or not you deal with the pub- 
lic, the profits must come from the sale of the 
manufactured article. Before going to too great 



PUSHING INVENTION TO SUCCESS 25 

expense, therefore, with your invention, ascer- 
tain its probable sale. 

Requirement of a Successful Patent. 

There are many patents that have no pecu- 
niary value. To be a success your device should 
already be in demand or be something for which 
a demand can be created; for, if it cannot be 
made to pay by manufacture, it is not worth 
your time and effort. 

It must possess utility, w^hether it is a new 
device or an improvement on something already' 
in use. It must be able to compete with devices 
of the same class already on the market and to 
do this it must be cheaper to manufacture, insti- 
tute a saving in time or labor or perform a given 
amount of work more satisfactorily than similar 
devices. In some way or another it must prove 
itself superior to its predecessors. 



CHAPTER V 
ON SELLING 

Copies of Patents. 

You should order a supply of these before 
starting out to sell your invention. They an- 
swer many questions and are always a ready 
help. Copies are furnished by the Patent Of- 
fice for 5 cents each, but do not send stamps in 
payment as they will not be accepted. 

When to SeU. 

The time to sell an invention is when it is 
new ; as it becomes older you will find people 
skeptical of it. The less you display or show 
your device, whatever it may be and no matter 
how privately, the better until such time as you 
are ready to offer it for sale. And when you 
do offer it for sale be prepared to close with 
the first person who makes you a just or rea- 
sonable proposition. 

Every time you refuse an offer you lessen 

26 



ON SELLING 27 

just so much the chances for a sale, yet you 
would not, of course, listen to or entertain a 
ridiculous offer or one that was not within the 
bounds of sense. 

Above all else, keep going. ''If at first you 
don't succeed . . .", etc. Do not sit back and 
rest and expect the invention, however excellent 
it may be, to sell itself. You must push it! 

Working up to the Selling Point. 

When you are fully prepared to demonstrate 
your invention and have determined the amount 
you are going to ask for it, you are ready to 
meet prospective purchasers. 

Once you have stated the amount you want, 
do not in any case lower your price. If your 
buyer is sincere and in earnest and not trying 
to cheat you but your price does not suit him, 
he will make you a counter proposition. Until 
he does, however, do not lower your price for 
the mere sake of selling; it will only tend to 
create suspicion. 

What to Ask. 

When the counter proposition is extended you 
are in a fair way to consummate a deal. You 
must bear in mind that the buyer expects (and 
is entitled to) a profit and that he is assuming 



28 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

all the trouble and expense of manufacturing 
and marketing. 

It is policy to ask a little more than you ex- 
pect to receive, as this leaves you a chance to 
drop somewhat in price during negotiations. 
Above all else, never let the buyer suspect your 
financial condition. Never let it be known how 
hard up you are even if you feel like consulting 
a fortune teller as to your next meal. 

If an invention possesses merit it will sell at 
a fair price; if it does not, it is dear at any 
price. A man in need is tempted to sell at a 
sacrifice for the sake of immediate help — and 
be sorry ever after. 

Undivided Interest. 

As a rule inventors are not in a position to 
market their inventions and so reap the full 
benefit of their labors. The consequence is that 
they start in by disposing of a small interest 
in the patent in order to secure sufficient funds 
to enable them to carry on its promotion. This 
may appear to be all right but it is a serious 
mistake. 

Do not lose sight of the fact that each party 
holding an interest, no matter how small, in a 
patent, is entitled to manufacture and sell, li- 
cense others to manufacture and sell, dispose 



ON SELLING 29 

of state or county rights and proceed much as 
if he were the sole owner and, in fact, do as 
he pleases with his interest without consulting 
or accounting to his co-owners for any profits 
derived through his efforts. They are simply 
tenants in common, unless an agreement is drawn 
up by and between each and all the co-owners 
expressly making partners of all parties con- 
cerned. 

When it is understood or intended that the 
patentee and assignee of an undivided interest 
are to become co-partners with the profits aris- 
ing from the invention to be for their joint bene- 
fit, there must be a distinct agreement to this 
effect. Many inventors have lost their patents 
through not being careful in assigning an undi- 
vided interest. 

Selling Outright. 

This is in many eases the best procedure, pro- 
vided you are offered a reasonable and satisfac- 
tory price. After disposition of your inven- 
tion you are left free and clear and, unhampered, 
can devote your time and effort to the develop- 
ment of other ideas. 

On the other hand, if you own a first class 
patent with good broad claims, it will probably 
be to your advantage to hang on for a while. 



30 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

Do not suffer a sacrifice by being in too great 
haste to sell. 

If you wish to make a sale outright be sure 
that your model is in perfect working condition. 
Never mind about details — that will come later. 
What the prospective purchaser wants to see is 
a working device sufficiently perfected to give 
him a clear idea of its purpose. 



CHAPTER VI 
METHODS OF HANDLING 

About Manufacturing. 

Do not attempt to manufacture your inven- 
tion yourself, especially if it is a complicated 
device or one requiring much capital to promote. 
If a company is formed that is a different mat- 
ter but, unless you have ample means and wide 
experience in manufacturing and marketing, 
it is next to useless for you to undertake it. 
Pass this part of the work on to someone who 
thoroughly understands it. 

State or County Manufacturing Rights. 

On a simple invention and one that is easily 
manufactured or that does not require especially 
constructed machinery to turn out, selling State 
or County Manufacturing Rights is usually pro- 
ductive of satisfactory results. 

This means the right to manufacture in cer- 
tain states or counties in accordance with State 

31 



32 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

or County Sales Rights (explained later). 
Where you have disposed of the exclusive selling 
rights for a particular state or county you can, 
if you desire, also sell the manufacturing rights 
for the same territory. The manufacturer sup- 
plies the selling agent for that territory at the 
price agreed upon between you and the selling 
agent. 

In following this plan it is advisable to sup- 
ply the purchaser with a sample or a set of 
working drawings or patterns to enable him to 
start manufacturing with the least possible de- 
lay. This always tends to help the inventor, as 
a purchaser will, in most cases, take favorably 
to a proposition if he is assured that he can 
start manufacturing with little delay or ex- 
pense. 

Special Manufacturing Rights. 

Where a patented improvement is adaptable 
for several different purposes or for the same 
purpose on several different articles of manufac- 
ture, it is then possible to sell such rights to 
manufacturers of specified articles. For in- 
stance, in rubber goods one company holds the 
manufacturing rights for rubber combs, another 
for rubber boots, another for rubber coats, an- 
other for tires, another for rubber hose, etc. If 



METHODS OF HANDLING 33 

your invention can be nsed on or is adaptable 
to one or more of these, the manufacturers pro- 
ducing them may be licensed to turn it out. 

Rubber is here cited only as an illustration; 
other lines apply equally well. 

State or County Sales Rights. 

Where the inventor wishes to market his in- 
vention himself but is handicapped for funds, 
selling State or County Sales Eights for a speci- 
fied territory is an excellent plan. It furnishes 
him with the necessary capital to produce his 
device and relieves him of the worry of finding 
a market. It is quite easy, from a selling stand- 
point, to interest people in a promising patented 
article. 

Your contract should stipulate the sum to be 
paid for the desired territory, the price at which 
you are to furnish the manufactured article and 
the quantity the Sales Rights purchaser is to 
take quarterly or yearly. The territory to which 
he is to confine his operations should also be 
stipulated. 

In connection with the foregoing plan arrange- 
ments may be made as follows : Demand a cer- 
tain sum for the Sales Rights and then, as the 
buyer or agent orders the manufactured articles 
from you or from the manufacturer, allow him 



34 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

a rebate on each article ordered until he has 
been reimbursed in full for the amount paid for 
his territory. 

By this method you secure immediate capital, 
the territorial sales right really costs the pur- 
chaser (ultimately) nothing and everyone is 
satisfied. But be sure to have your contract 
stipulate that, should he fail to order a suffi- 
cient quantity of the manufactured article with- 
in a given time so the rebate agreed upon would 
cover the amount he paid for his territory, the 
balance of the amount paid is to be forfeited to 
you,. This, as you can see, will stimulate his 
sales efforts because he will not want to lose 
his investment. 

Royalty Contracts. 

A good royalty contract relieves the inventor 
of all the care, time and expense of marketing — 
and this means a whole lot in bringing out a 
new device. 

An invention worked on royalty, providing 
the contract is strong enough, will often net the 
inventor a far greater return in the end than 
an outright sale. Numerous inventions are pay- 
ing their originators thousands of dollars an- 
nually in royalties. Much depends, of course, 



METHODS OF HANDLING 35 

on the class of the invention and the ultimate 
sale of the manufactured article. 

When placing your invention on this basis be 
sure that those with whom you place it are re- 
liable and responsible and, as royalty contracts 
are sometimes very deceptive, great care should 
be exercised in drawing them up. 

Payments on Royalty Contracts. 

On a royalty arrangement be careful to stipu- 
late in the contract the minimum quantity of 
the article to be manufactured or the minimum 
amount of royalty that is to be paid quarterly, 
with a forfeiture of the contract should the 
quantity turned out or the amount paid fall be- 
low that so stipulated. 

Have a clause inserted in your contract stat- 
ing that, in event of infringement suit, the pur- 
chasing parties are to furnish the finances to 
prosecute or defend them, deducting the cost 
from the royalties as they become due. They 
should, however, be allowed to hold back or 
deduct only one-half of the amount of the royal- 
ties quarterly until such time as they become 
repaid for the advance. Thereafter you are to 
receive your full royalty as agreed upon. 

Have your contract state that all money re- 
ceived as damages in event of infringement suit 



36 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

is to be equally divided between you after cost 
of prosecution or defense has been deducted. 

It is usually advisable to demand, as a mat- 
ter of good faith, a payment down equivalent to 
the amount of the minimum royalties for a 
period of one year. This works to advantage in 
two ways : It assures you your first year 's roy- 
alties and affords the other party to the con- 
tract an opportunity to start the manufacture 
of your invention in an economical manner. 

Although it is customary to grant the pros- 
pective manufacturer from one to three months 
to get ready to produce, the time depends en- 
tirely on circumstances — the complication of the 
device, perhaps, or other reasons. 

Cash vs. Promises. 

In no case would I ever advise placing an in- 
vention on royalty without a reasonable initial 
payment — cash down. You will find any num- 
ber of possible purchasers presenting the most 
glowing promises, offering as high as 25 to 40 
per cent royalty if you will place your inven- 
tion with them. But with a straight contract 
10 to 15 per cent of the wholesale selling price 
is fair and equitable and those who are in ear- 
nest will recognize the justice of your demand 
for an initial cash payment. Unless you insist 



METHODS OF HANDLING 37 

on this you run the risk of finding your inven- 
tion shelved. 

Figuring Royalties. 

Estimate carefully and as accurately as pos- 
sible the probable number of sales (see Table 
again) ; learn the cost to manufacture and fig- 
ure the profit to go to the manufacturer. 

When you have thus determined, as nearly as 
you can, the price at which the article can be 
sold then ask, as your royalty fee (for the ex- 
clusive rights) about 15 per cent of the net 
wholesale selling price. If exclusive rights are 
not contracted for, about 10 per cent of the net 
wholesale selling price is reasonable. 

Organizing Companies. 

If an invention is very complicated and re- 
quires considerable capital to manufacture and 
market, it is often best to organize a company 
to promote it. 

Here, though, the inventor must exercise the 
greatest precaution in order to thoroughly pro- 
tect himself; it is an easy matter to so manipu- 
late affairs as to ''freeze" him out and rob him 
of his just due. 

In the first place never, if you can possibly 
avoid it, make an absolute assignment to a cor- 



38 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

poration. Grant the corporation the sole and 
exclusive right to manufacture and grant the 
articles covered by your patent, hut keep the 
patent in your own name. 

If, for any reason, you do relinquish control, 
see that you receive for it a reasonable amount 
in cash — say 30 per cent — and the balance in 
fully paid and non-assessable stock. 

Also secure an agreement whereby, should the 
company meet financial disaster or bankruptcy, 
their rights in your patent cease and the patent 
reverts to you. This protects jou and may save 
you any amount of time, trouble, and expense, 
for as long as you maintain this hold upon your 
invention and patent you are safe. 

It is not always possible to make such an 
agreement but a good attorney should be able 
to safeguard you on this point. 

A Friendly Danger Signal. 

Have you by now reached the conclusion that 
no one is to be trusted? This is not at all the 
case, but I have had sad experiences on numer- 
ous occasions and know just the kind of people 
you are likely to meet (I expect you have al- 
ready met some of them) and the kind of propo- 
sitions you will have the opportunity to con- 
sider. So I have placed the foregoing para- 



METHODS OF HANDLING 39 

graphs out like a danger signal placed on the 
walk when a safe is being hauled up the front 
of a building. You ca7i walk there — it is a pub- 
lie street and no one can stop you — but you do 
it at your own risk and it is much safer to go 
around. 

So you can enter into agreements and con- 
tracts to do many different things and you might 
emerge triumphantly, but it is wiser to choose 
the surely safe way and run no unnecessary 
risk. 



CHAPTER VII 
MISCELLANEOUS 

Pitfalls to Escape. 

Never sign a patent application jointly with 
another party unless that party is actually a 
co-inventor. If you do so that patent is void. 

Be careful of those who seek to purchase an 
undivided interest unless it is stipulated that all 
the profits are to be held jointly and for your 
mutual benefit. 

Never accept notes in payment for your pat- 
ent unless you know that either the person who 
signs or the one who endorses them is reliable 
and responsible. It is always best to accept only 
cash or secured paper which can be negotiated. 

Be cautious about showing your invention 
until your application for patent has been filed. 

Have a care in assigning your patent to a 
proposed corporation for stock consideration. 
You can very readily lose control of your inven- 
tion and perhaps lose altogether if you are un- 

40 



MISCELLANEOUS 41 

fortunate enough to be dealing with unscrupu- 
lous people who wish to take advantage of you. 

If you must sell an interest in order to raise 
funds to apply for patent, be sure to have stipu- 
lated in the agreement that the purchaser can- 
not sell, dispose of or encumber his interest with- 
out your written consent. 

Be careful in giving an option on your in- 
vention as, some options, while appearing all 
right on the face, practically amount to an as- 
signment. 

Never give an option without a reasonable 
amount paid down and have it stipulated in the 
contract or agreement that it is not to be put 
on record and that if it is put on record the 
option is void. You may find yourself in seri- 
ous difficulty if this is not insisted upon. 

Do not place too much confidence in those who 
appear to be your friends. Remember, when 
you hold control of your invention you hold 
everything; when you lose control you have 
nothing. 

Never leave sketches or drawings with any- 
one pretending to be interested in your inven- 
tion, especially if the patent has not yet been 
applied for. Good inventions have been known 
to become lost through carelessness in this re- 
spect and too much confidence in humanity. 



42 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

Beware of those who paint glowing pictures 
with promises of a big block of stock in a com- 
pany or corporation which they intend to form. 
It generally happens that when the company 
is incorporated and the stock issued the artists 
grow tired and the picture is never finished. 
Valuable patents have been lost in just this man- 
ner. Better that you should accept a smaller 
sum for your patent than lose control of it in 
this way. 

To Detect Curiosity Seekers. 

This is a class of people who answer every ad- 
vertisement they see regarding inventions for 
sale or capital wanted. Waste no time on them. 
They are constantly looking for propositions 
without the least intention of buying and prob- 
ably could not buy if they had the inclination. 
Leave them strictly alone as the time spent with 
them may be used to better advantage in other 
directions. 

If you do much advertising you will find that 
many replies come from business chance brokers 
looking for an opportunity to make a commis- 
sion. 

Before granting an interview to anyone try 
to find out who he is ; look up his financial stand- 
ing; learn his occupation (the city or telephone 



MISCELLANEOUS 43 

directories or the commercial rating books will 
usually furnish this information) . You can then 
judge whether he is merely a curiosity seeker or 
is in a position to seriously consider making an 
investment in what you have to offer. 

The following, taken from "Rules of Prac- 
tice '^ issued by the United States Patent Of- 
fice, will prove of value to the inventor. 

What May be Patented. 

"A patent may be obtained by any person 
who has discovered any new or useful art, ma- 
chine, manufacture, or composition of matter, 
or any new or useful improvement thereof, not 
known or used by others in this country before 
his invention or discovery thereof, and not pat- 
ented or described in any printed publication 
in this or any foreign country before his in- 
vention or discovery thereof, or more than two 
years prior to his application, and not patented 
in any country foreign to the United States on 
an application filed by him or his legal repre- 
sentatives or assigns more than twelve months 
before his application, and not in public use 
or on sale in the United States for more than 
two years prior to his application unless the 
same is proved to have been abandoned, upon 



44 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

payment of fees required by law and other due 
proceedings. 

''In case of the death of the inventor, the 
application will be made and the patent will 
issue to his executor or administrator. In such 
cases the oath required will be made by the ex- 
ecutor or administrator. 

*'In case of assignment of the whole interest 
in the invention, or of the whole interest in the 
patent to be granted, the patent will, upon the 
request of the applicant embodied in the assign- 
ment, issue to the assignee; and if the assignee 
hold an undivided part interest, the patent will, 
upon like request, issue jointly to the inventor 
and assignee; but the assignment in either case 
must have first been entered of record, and at 
a day not later than the date of the final fee, 
and if it be dated subsequently to the execution 
of the application it must give the date of ex- 
ecution of the application or the date of filing 
or the serial number, so that there can be no 
mistake as the particular invention intended. 
The application and oath must be signed by the 
actual inventor, if alive, even if the patent is 
to issue to the assignee. 

''Joint inventors are entitled to a joint pat- 
ent ; neither of them can obtain a patent for an 
invention jointly invented by them. Indepen- 



MISCELLANEOUS 45 

dent inventors of distinct and independent im- 
provements in the same machine canilot obtain 
a joint patent for their separate inventions. The 
fact that one furnishes the capital and another 
makes the invention does not entitle them to 
make application as joint inventors. 

Marking Patented Inventions. 

''It shall be the duty of all patentees, their 
assigns and legal representatives and of all per- 
sons making or vending any patented article for 
or under them, to give sufficient notice to the 
public that the same is patented; either by fix- 
ing thereon the word 'Patented' together with 
the day and year the patent was granted, or 
when, from the character of the article, this can- 
not be done, by fixing to it or to the package 
wherein one or more of it is contained, a label 
containing a like notice; and in any suit for 
infringement, by the party failing so to mark, 
no damages shall be recovered by the plaintiff, 
except on proof that the defendant was duly 
notified of the infringement and continued, after 
such notice, to make, use or vend the article 
so patented. Any person who, in any manner, 
makes upon or affixes to any such patented ar- 
ticle the words 'Letter Patent' or any word of 
like import with intent to imitate or counterfeit 



46 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

the mark or device of the patentee without the 
license or consent of such patentee, or his assigns 
or legal representatives; or who, in any man- 
ner, marks upon or affixes to any unpatented 
article the word 'Patented' or any word pur- 
porting that the same is patented, for the pur- 
pose of deceiving the public, shall be liable, for 
every such offense, to a penalty of not less than 
$100 with costs ; one half of said penalty to the 
person who shall sue for the same and the other 
to the use of the United States, to be recovered 
by suit in any district of the United States 
within whose jurisdiction such offense may 
have been committed." 

Assignments of Patent Title. 

Assignments of patents are not required to 
be under seal; the statutes simply provide that 
every patent or any interest therein shall be as- 
signable in law by an instrument in writing. 

The patentee or his assigns or legal repre- 
sentatives may, in like manner, grant and con- 
vey an exclusive right under the patent to the 
whole or any specified part of the United States. 

"An assignment, grant or conveyance of a 
patent will be void as against a subsequent pur- 
chaser for a valuable consideration without no- 



MISCELLANEOUS 47 

tice, unless recorded in the Patent Office within 
three months from the date thereof. 

"Assignments which are made conditional on 
the performance of certain stipulations, such as 
the payment of money, if recorded in the Patent 
Office are regarded as absolute assignments until 
cancelled with the written consent of both par- 
ties and by the decree of a competent court." 

An assignee is one to whom is given or trans- 
ferred for a consideration the whole interest or 
an undivided part of a w^hole interest in the 
original patent, this interest covering the entire 
United States. The assignment conferring this 
interest must be either written or printed and 
duly signed. 

A grantee receives exclusive right under the 
patent to "make, use, and vend and to grant to 
others the right to make, use, and vend the thing 
patented within and throughout some specified 
part of the United States." The inventor or 
patentee is excluded from all further right in 
the specified territory. The grant conferring 
this right must be either written or printed and 
duly signed. 

A licensee receives an interest "less than or 
different from either of the other two." The 
license may be oral, written, or printed. If writ- 
ten or printed it must be duly signed. 



48 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

All of these must be witnessed by two other 
parties or sworn to before a notary public. 

Royalty means the granting of exclusive rights 
under the patent to make, use, and vend a pat- 
ented article within and throughout all or some 
specified part of the United States by paying 
to the inventor a stipulated amount on each 
article sold. 

Shop Eights means the exclusive right to 
manufacture at a certain place, within a certain 
territory, upon payment to the inventor of an 
agreed amount. The article so manufactured 
may be sold throughout the entire United States. 

State or County Sales Rights means the grant- 
ing of exclusive or non-exclusive rights -under 
the patent to manufacture or sell the article 
within a specified territory, the inventor being 
paid an agreed amount for this privilege. 

All agreements in connection with such ar- 
rangements must be either written or printed, 
duly signed by the parties involved, and wit- 
nessed by two other parties or sworn to before 
a notary public. 



CHAPTER VIII 
SOME INVENTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED 

A noiseless phonograph motor. 

A good, cheap pocket pencil sharpener. 

Efficient and automatic bread wrapping ma- 
chine. 

An automatic ice-chopping device for ice 
wagons. 

Means for preserving trolley wire support 
poles. 

A card mixing contrivance to automatically 
shuffle a deck of playing cards. 

A slot machine that will emboss a name in a 
hat band is a novelty which should bring hand- 
some returns. 

An umbrella for mail carriers which can be 
carried open by some arrangement around the 
shoulders so as to leave both hands free. 

A wall-papering machine — inexpensive — 
would make a stir and the man who brings it 
out will be blessed. 

A pocket ticket holder for car tickets (as used 

49 




50 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

in some cities) to permit the withdrawing of 
only one ticket at a time. 

An inside street indicator for street cars. 
This must indicate, at least half a block away, 
the next approaching street and must b^ auto- 
matic. 

A cheap, easily attached arrangement that 
wall automatically prevent dangerous escape- 
ment of gas. 

A lock socket for incandescent lamps whereby 
the lamp cannot be removed without being de- 
stroyed, rf'*^' 

A carburetor ^hat will vaporize kerosene or 
crude oil. A fortune awaits the lucky inventor 
of this. 

Amusement and advertising novelties are 
eagerly sought and find a ready market. 

Games and toys have made fortunes and are 
always in demand. Those that can be sold in 
the 5 and 10 cent stores are big producers. 

A machine that will automatically punch the 
holes and put the ring eyelets in side curtains 
for automobiles ; this work is now done by hand 
and is very slow and tedious. 

An egg crate that can be folded and packed 
into a small space when empty. This would 
save immeasurable space in shipping and ought 
to find a ready market. 



INVENTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED 51 

A decided improvement over the present 
method of fastening women's garters to the 
hose ; one that Avill not tear them, of course. 

A quicker, easier and more simple method of 
fastening women's corsets. 

A ventilating system wherein the chimney 
could be used to draw off foul air would be a 
vast improvement over present methods and if 
the correct arrangement were devised it would 
ventilate a building properly. 

A practical safety device for elevators. This 
must absolutely prevent the elevator falling in 
case of accident. There is ample opportunity 
for improvement over present devices which are 
supposed to but do not always serve the pur- 
pose. 

Improvements in moving picture machines. 
This art or business, while having made rapid 
strides in a few years, is still in its infancy and 
anything worth while that will help it grow 
faster or better is readily snapped up. 

A box for safety razor blades that cannot be 
tampered with without detection. 

A bottle for poisons whereby the contents can 
be immediately discovered by feeling the stop- 
per or treated in some way to make it distin- 
guishable in the darkest place. There are some 
oddly shaped bottles for such purposes but there 



52 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

is still room for improvement for more and bet- 
ter ones. 

A device for party line telephones to prevent 
a third person overhearing conversation between 
two others. In fact anything in telephone ap- 
paratus should find a ready market. 

A scale that will at once show the amount and 
weight of a purchase. Better yet if the sale 
ticket shows both. 

Anything that will lighten the burden of the 
office man is always in demand. Here are a 
few suggestions: 

A substantial, practical but inexpensive post- 
age-stamping machine. 

An inkwell that will automatically clean the 
pen point and not allow the ink to evaporate. 

A device to deaden the noise of typewriters, 
adjustable to any machine if possible. The man 
who puts this on the market ( at a reasonable 
price) will confer a boon on mankind. 

A practical envelope that cannot be tampered 
with or opened without detection. 

A simplo machine to fold and insert letters 
and circulars into envelopes and, if possible, also 
seal them. 

Equally welcome is anything that will lighten 
the work of the housekeeper. For instance: 

A non-heating handle for cooking utensils. 



INVENTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED 53 

An adjustable rolling window screen. 

A mustard pot that will not clog. 

A water-power ice cream freezer would make 
a hit. 

A cooking' utensil that will not allow the odor 
of boiling cabbage, onions or other odorous foods 
to escape. 

An arrangement for marking laundry without 
damaging the article marked; one that can be 
removed preferred. 

An automatic device that will sound an alarm 
when the drip pan under the ice box is about to 
overflow, 

A gas igniter which, when turned on, auto- 
matically ignites the gas without the use of 
matches or other lighters. 

A cheap sewing machine with motor and at- 
tachments w^ould find a warm welcome in pri- 
vate homes and among dressmakers. 

A moderate priced, practical dish-washing 
machine. Several have been invented but the 
right idea is to have the dishes remain stationary 
while the drum containing the water revolves 
around them. 

A folding dining room in which the table can 
be pulled out from the side wall and the leaves 
inserted automatically. These folding rooms 
are used extensively on the western coast and 



54 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

any new idea that can be adapted to them meets 
with ready attention. 

A refrigerator which, by the use of a small 
motor and an ammonia tank, would keep itself 
cool without ice. The ammonia could be run 
off .below the trap in the sink waste pipe, thus 
eliminating any disagreeable odor. 

Another refrigerator could have a series of 
funnel-shaped pipes (very small) with openings 
at the small end which points inward. Air 
pumped through these by a small motor would 
take the place of ice or ammonia. 

The list is practically endless. These are just 
a few ideas which have come to my mind and 
which I am more than glad to here offer for 
your further thought. 



CHAPTER IX 
FOREIGN PATENTS 

Money in Foreign Patents. 

There is no question but that worth while, 
practical inventions brought out in the United 
States will find a ready market in foreign coun- 
tries, especially in the principal countries such 
as Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, Ger- 
many, Russia, Spain, Austria, the Scandinavian 
and some of the South American countries. 

Foreign manufacturers and capitalists enter- 
tain a great deal of respect and admiration for 
American inventors and are on the lookout for 
any meritorious inventions they may bring out. 
They watch the patent records closely and when- 
ever they run across an invention that catches 
their eye and arouses their interest, they are 
quick to get in touch with the inventor. They 
are wise enough to know that no other invest- 
ment is so productive as a first class invention 
properly handled and that oftentimes it is the 
foundation of a fortune. 

55 



56 INVENTOR'S MAN^UAL 

The chances of selling outright are perhaps 
not so favorable as they are in this country, but 
a good proposition, placed on royalty with a 
fair amount down, in foreign countries general- 
ly results in a handsome income for the inventor 
and he is reasonably certain of being given a 
square deal, as patent sharks and others seeking 
a ''good thing" are almost unknown abroad. 

A Mistake to Neglect Them. 

I have found that inventors generally neglect 
their foreign applications entirely. They have 
the impression that obtaining a foreign patent 
is an expensive procedure, entailing a tremend- 
ous expenditure of time and money. This is a 
big mistake; foreign patents are quite a« easily 
handled, and in many cases more easily handled, 
than a United States patent. The same method 
of disposal may be followed and will seldom 
fail to bring gratifying results. In the majority 
of cases the entire matter can be managed by 
correspondence. 

Obtaining Money to Apply for Foreign Patent. 

You proceed much as you would to obtain 
money for a United States patent, only in the 
matter of foreign patents any interest that j^ou 



FOREIGN PATENT>S 57 

retain generally results in a clear and frequently 
unexpected profit. 

The outcome is so altogether worth this extra 
attention that I strongly advise every inventor 
to take the few additional steps to secure the 
necessary money to appl}^ for foreign patent 
in those countries where he wishes protection. 

You can well afford to be liberal with whoever 
advances the funds. Concede him a half in- 
terest in the foreign patents in exchange for 
sufficieijt money to apph^ for them and to cover 
the expenses for both of you to go abroad. It 
is always advisable to go over personally and 
be on the ground while negotiations are under 
way. 

Realizing on Foreign Patents. 

By maintaining your patent as a whole in- 
stead of splitting it up or dividing its interest 
among different holders, you stand a better 
chance of realizing a larger amount from its 
sale. It is much easier to handle and can be 
disposed of more readily if the entire interest 
can be transferred to the purchaser. 

Many investors will not consider a patent un- 
less they are able to secure entire interest. You 
cannot blame them for this, for, after all, the 
chief value of a patent, so far as its commercial 



58 im^ENTOR'S MANUAJj 

possibilities are concerned, is in the monopoly it 
creates. The amount offered in case of a di- 
vided interest would be practically nothing com- 
pared with what you should receive and would 
probably be offered for sole interest. 

Where Inventors Lose Out. 

Through neglect or oversight many inventors 
lose their opportunity of obtaining valid pat- 
ents in foreign countries. It is not necessary to 
wait until your patent is issued in the United 
States before proceeding with your foreign ap- 
plication. In fact, to secure its validity, it is 
advisable — and necessary in most foreign coun- 
tries — to make application 'before the United 
States patent is issued. 

Neither is it necessary to wait until your pat- 
ent is issued in order to proceed with its sale. 
Nearly all of my inventions have been sold be- 
fore any claims were even allowed. 

Of course you cannot expect to be paid as 
much for your invention where the application 
is only under way as when your patent has been 
granted, but it is sometimes advisable to dispose 
of it in the quickest way possible, especially 
where big money interests are affected. 



FOREIGN PATENTS 59 

The International Convention. 

The Articles of Agreement of the Interna- 
tional Convention provide that foreign applica- 
tion may be filed and a valid patent obtained in 
foreign countries on inventions already patented 
in the United States, provided the application 
is filed within one year after filing of applica- 
tion in the United States. 

Under the regulations of the International 
Convention all foreign patents lapse with the 
expiration of the terms of the original patent. 

The following countries are parties to the 
International Convention : 



United States of America 


Australia 


Great Britain 


New Zealand 


France 


Japan 


Belgium 


Ceylon 


Italy 


Trinidad 


Spain 


Tunis

Costs, Terms and Markets. 

The cost of application, the time limit for 
working and the term or life of a patent vary 
greatly in different countries. Your Patent At- 



60 INVENTOR'S MANUAL 

torney will furnish you with detailed informa- 
tion regarding any special country or countries 
in which you may be particularly interested. 

It is advisable to study closely the different 
industries of these countries in order to select 
those in which your invention may be most 
needed or find the readiest sale. If it is an 
improvement in manufacturing machinery, for 
instance, you would not make your application 
in places devoted to agriculture; if it had to 
do with mining you would pick out the mining 
countries. 

These things require a great deal of applica- 
tion and search for information. In the con- 
densed table following I am giving you merely 
the terms of patents, their approximate cost 
(which includes in each case one set or sheet of 
drawings) and the population. Of course Pat- 
ent Attorneys' fees differ, but the figures given 
are average. 

Also, you appreciate that there is not now — 
and will not be for some time — any accurate de- 
termination of the present population of certain 
of the countries in this list, especially England 
and those on the European Continent. The fig- 
ures given here are based on those compiled 
shortly before the "war and are the latest ob- 
tainable.
